Hatebreed - Puritan Lyrics






Bastard cries, feed the fire.
The burning desire to rob human life.
In this world full of fear of the unknown.
Twisting the perception of the weak.
Lying to progress.
Only achieving greed.
Seated behind the sun.
Myths bleed into one.
Searching for a saviour to
lead us through this life.
Where our sanity is undone.
Killing against our will.
Killing for the bastard maker.
The fairy tale.
The non existent.
Salvation so bittersweet the
taste brought fear to our tongues.
Preying on the weak.
Fatherless creation encased
in the depths of humanity.
They continue to rape and call
it purity.
I will not bow down because of out past.
I see now mankind was not meant to last.

  1. I.... ....

    i'm actually a black dude (despite my avatar) and i grew up in the bronx on hip hop/rap. in my mid/late teens i started getting into pop rock like avril lavigne then graduated to pop punk (sum 41), then things started getting a litle dark when i promoted to Nirvana but then my boy, who was head deep in real metal and rock. He put me on to 3 bands Deftones, Cannibal Corpse and mother fucking Hatebreed. and Puitan was the first song i listened to off this album he gave me. and my.. life... changed.... forever....

    👍😎

  14. 1.... ....

    Back in the day, he couldn't hit those high notes. Ironically, he got better as he got older. Still, I adore this song because it's message speaks to me on a certain degree

    1.... ....

    115madmax I like him better when he sang low. Very Max Cavalera sounding

    1.... ....

    Like the band's name, i think this song's meaning is a misnomer. It is a condemnation. Not an honest expression. They are describing the enemy. Not themselves. I am pretty sure Hatebreed takes pride in humanity and would not condemn it. A don't know how a man who is thankful for being born of an act of hate could possibly condemn life.

  15. s.... ....

    Yeah that first riff reminds me of Carcass - Embodiment a lot! That song is thier best song off Heartwork imo! Who wouldn't wanna steal a riff off Bill Steer & Mike Amott there GODS

    s.... ....

    Yup. And Smash Your Enemies is Stranger Aeons by Entombed.

  16. V.... ....

    Wtf Jamie Shanahan? You mean Jamie Jasta I'm sure.

  17. R.... S....

    This version is way better. It makes my clit tickle.

  18. M.... ....

    Anyone else reminded of the first riff in Carcass' Embodiment?

  19. S.... ....

    cause good songs are good damn songs.

    S.... ....

    ShaolinLambKiller i

  20. S.... J....

    thats dope dude im pretty jealous lol

  21. S.... ....

    Hard to believe that Victory Records used to put out bands like this.....wtf, happened, lol?!

  22. C.... G....

    agreed. you may have a little more history on me but I remember seeing these guys every fri and sat in the hudson valley as the open band in little ass clubs and bars.

  23. m.... h....

    Dude I used to deliver pizza to him...N Elm street, Wallingford CT. Google map it if u want. I worked somewhere else with his little brother. My old guitarist was on the bill a bunch of times when hatebreed was small time.

  24. S.... ....

    Hell Yeah!!!

  25. C.... ....

    i must agree there is not a bad song on this album

  26. m.... h....

    Shadows Fall came up there too, along w/ many others. Being on the bill opening up for HB was no big deal back then. My old drummer opened for hatebreed, I opened for SF a bunch of times. Whoopity-doo. Watching them now, even live, even close in the "pit" , you might as well just watch a dvd. Just not the same. It's like the kindergarten version for sure 8^D

  27. m.... h....

    I remember watching these guys playin for 30-40 ppl at the Hanover house in meriden. Well before that crack haven was torn down. That's when they were really hatebreed. Shanahan was a kid from a very residential cul-de-sac type neighborhood in a quaint little town, lol. He fuckin made it tho. For sure. Being trapped in a 30'x40' room packed nuts-to-butts with monsters throwing elbows and spin kicks, loving it. That's hatebreed. CT skate in bristol, The Webster riot. Knives, guns, Good times....

  28. M.... ....

    @FEEDMETOTHESEA123 from the 'under the knife' ep

  29. M.... ....
